Origins had a solid pc implementation, its wierd how people gloss over that fact and call montreal a bad developer when city had a terrible terrible dx11 client.

Batman: Arkham Knight (PC/PS4/XB1, 2014) media & Game Informer details [Up: More]

I think Rises is bad and a disgrace finale to Batman Begins The Dark Knight but it's still way way better than Captain America, Iron Man 2 and that pure garbage-fest Ironman 3 and Thor 2 (and also the The Wolverine but that Fox fault)
Origins (PC and elsewhere) was bugged to hell and back when it released and it took WB Montreal a good while to get those fixed. Right now, sure, it's fine, but that wasn't the case when it originally released in October.

Can you say the same about ac's dx11 now though?
I didn't even have any issues (besides the southern radio comm tower), but people really go out of their way to demonize origins. I think the only responsible party is WB.
City wasn't buggy trash. Origins still is, just not as bad as it was on launch. My game only crashed like 5 times when I beat it. Then there's online, a whole different can of worms. It's all soooo stable.
Rocksteady made an Arkham game in two years that wasn't a huge downgrade in gameplay and unstable on every platform. Montreal just aren't particularly good devs, there's only so much you can blame the publisher for.

Yeah, Origins performs pretty well on my PC with everything at max. Meanwhile, City has ridiculous framerate issues when DX11 effects are turned on.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
I really like some the batmobile designs over the years. Would really love to see some unlockable skins for the Batmobile. It would be cool to ride around in a few non-tumbler versions.
I still love this version of the batmobile.
So sleek, and looks fast.
Even the Batmobile from the animated series would be great.
I wouldn't be surprised if they included this one considering there were costumes from the animated series in Arkham City.

Given the fact that this game apparently features Scarecrow as a big part, and the ending of AC/Harley's Revenge showing that
the Joker's death has psychologically affected Batman-- I think it's very likely we'll see the Joker in some respect. I believe it won't be in the flesh, but a hallucination or recording. If Hamill commits to his retirement, then they'll likely be using recycled audio or just having Troy Baker do it.

Sure, there could be retcon down the line with the series but it is not happening with this game.

Rises is an example of how the gritty, Batman-alone-against-Gotham was pure idiocy.
Logically, Bruce should've just died. Setting that aside, he completely failed Gotham--the industry leaders and business owners were murdered by Bane and the criminals that roamed the streets. The ones that didn't die probably left for good. There's no saving a city where there aren't ANY jobs. And the replacement Bats? That guy's going to die, horribly, so that was pointless.
Rises is better than Iron Man 2, but Cap, the Thor films and IM3? Nah. And I like DC more than Marvel, but Marvel captures the essence of their characters better than Warner's does with DC.

iron man 3 is the best marvel movie, and also the only good one.
the point is moot though, since dredd is better than every superhero movie.

Quick question regarding Origins, does anyone with the PC version and PhysX set to high actually have this scene look like this?

When I played it, it didn't have the crazy number of particles.

You're not the only one. I don't like the ham, i don't like Nicholson's Joker and I don't like the way it flows. Returns is the best of the 4 from that era, easily, with, admittedly, Forever not too far behind it.
The animations of Batman have always been relatively stiff, in my opinion.

Speaking of animation, it'd be cool if Batman would wrap his cloak around when not running around, kinda like that animation in Assassins Creed 2 with Ezio's cloak.

Didn't one of the Arkham City tie-in comics show us
Joker's
So I loved Asylum and City, skipped Origins (for now), and I'm looking forward to Knight, but a question -- if the Batmobile destroys every car in its path... what does it to do to thugs? I mean, Batman's a strictly no-kill guy -- that's why I love him! -- so I imagine they'd find a way for the Batmobile to be nonlethal. Maybe a force-field bubbles up and harmlessly knocks out bad guys? Or maybe they'll just play fast and loose with reality and have enemies go flying but they're only knocked out, lol.

That should've been in the Arkham games from the start, really.

Everyone looked jacked in Asylum. Even Gordon. It was improved in City, but Origins had some vastly improved character models, with less of that UE3 ugliness.
I wish they'd make Batman actually look like a more imposing figure, like this.

Not sure if posted yet,
For my PC version bros looking for a deal;
GMG $40 Arkham Knight Preorder
http://www.dealzon.com/deals/batman-arkham-knight#arkham-knight-pc-download
I had read that amazon doesn't pricematch games? I preordered this just in case they won't pricematch GMG.

New piece is up - Who is Arkham Knight.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/03/12/who-is-arkham-knight.aspx
Some interesting theories in the piece.

Except for the fact that Batman is killing henchmen left and right in that film.
ok maybe just 1, but he definitely kills him!

Does anyone else feel the Arkham Knight is dumb? The idea of a dark twisted version of Batman has been done a gazillion times already (Prometheus, Owlman, Thomas Wayne Jr., Wraith, etc.)

it's a pain in the butt to cancel preorders off GMG though, because i'm pretty sure they charge your card when you preorder there (which is why they can get you such low prices).
I can't not see this be a big nvidia promo thing though, so smartest move would be to wait until around launch window and just buy a promo code off ebay for $20-35.

When he kicks the dude with the explosives into the sewer and then just grins. That needs a JamesFrancoSoGood type gif.
The Bat in Rises had rockets and machine guns. Movie Batman is constantly killing people.
Edit: I see that the Batmobile history pic has already been linked.
Y'all see this?!?1 A member of Arkhamverse forums posted some screens and they look frikking sweettt
There's more but I could get in trouble?
Nope. Keep posting. I think Mag scans only ain't allowed.

I hope the animation holds up.
That's an area where the graphics in the Arkham games are sometimes hit and miss.
